Crock Pot Chili ?

[Paulin46]

Does anyone have a good tasty recipe for Crockpot chili? I want to make some for the weekend but don't have a tried and true recipe for the crock pot. Can you make it the same way you make other chili. How does it differ from regular chili when you use the crock pot?

Any help would be appreciated. :hehe:

1 pound extra lean ground beef
2 large onions, coarsely chopped
2 large cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp (approx) chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp crushed dried oregano leaves
1/2 tsp crushed hot red pepper flakes
1 can (28 oz/796mL) tomatoes
4 cups cooked red kidney beans (or 2 cans (19 oz/540mL each), drained and rinsed)
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups corn kernels (canned, frozen or fresh)

In large heavy saucepan or nonstick skillet, cook beef over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes or until no longer pink. Pour off any fat. Add onions, garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano and hot red pepper flakes; cook, stiring, over medium-low heat for 5 minutes or until onions are tender. Stir in tomatoes, breaking up with back of spoon, kidney beans and salt; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer over medium-low heat, stirring often for 20 minutes or until desired consistency. Add corn; cook until heated through.

Yo - nice one Pauline!

That's one thing I detest - thinking up things for tea. When I ask what everybody wants they always say 'anything'. I get fed up of thinking things up. This is far better than my 'school dinners' version so I'm going to print it off and give it a go next time I do a shop. If it works out it will be a useful one to make in advance and reheat for visitors.

My oh my, you guys have made me hungry! I'm a genuine Texas born gal, and this is my recipe for authentic Texas chili. I make a beanless chili (as a true Mexican style red chili should be), but it's easy enough to add them if you desire.

Real Deal Texas Chili* - for crockpot or stovetop

1lb ground beef or buffalo (if you can get it, use buffalo!), browned and drained of fat
1 med onion, chopped (not cooked!)
1 green bell pepper chopped
5 cloves of garlic, crushed but not chopped
2 10oz cans Rotel tomatoes, with liquid
**if you can't find Rotel, subsitute w/chopped tomatoes
and a 4oz can of chopped green chilies**
2 8oz cans tomato sauce
4 Tbsp chili powder, preferably Gebharts
**all chili powder is not created the same, stear clear of the very dark almost brown chili powders. Look for a product that is bright red and without added any salt*****
1 HEAPING tsp cumin
1 tsp ground corriander
1/8 tsp allspice
1 tsp oregano
1Tbsp cider vinegar
1tsp crushed red pepper flakes, or less, to taste
1Tbsp salt, approx, or to taste. If your chili powder has salt in it, I would wait to add salt to taste later on.

Mix all ingredients in a large stock pot, and bring to boil, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer at least 1hr, up to 4hrs, stirring occasionaly to prevent sticking. Lid may be removed the last 30 min or so of cooking to reduce to a thicker consistancy, if desired. If in a hurry, add 1Tbsp masa as thickener.

*** or ***
Place all ingrediants in a crock pot, and cook on high 4-5hours, or on low for 8-9 hours

For a genuine Texas supper, serve with corn bread and plenty of ice tea to cool your mouth! Yummy....

okay...............thought that I would add my little trick to cooking chili here as well, only I do not use a crock pot, I hate the clean up!!

I use a roasting pan!!

5 lbs of ground beef
3 cans of red kidney beans
1 onion.....I prefer red
1 large can of diced tomatos
3 stalks of celery
1 pkg of chili seasoning....your choice of flavor (mild, med or hot)

Brown ground beef in water on stove top. Drain the water, which also takes away the extra grease. Place meat into roaster. Add the kidney beans and the diced tomatos. Dice celery and onions and place in roaster. Add in the entire packet of seasoning and stir. Place lid on top of roaster and put in oven on 300 and cook for at least two hours. You may have to stir it occasionally.

By using the oven, which is where I cook 95% of my meals, it cuts down on time spent in the kitchen and is easier clean up. All you have to do is rinse the roaster and shove it in the dishwasher. If you have to clean by hand, I have found the roaster is much easier to handle than a crock pot. Also, you can turn the oven down and leave it in there all day and hit it whenever you want. We have a busy household and there are times we do not all sit down and eat at the same time. Also in the winter, it keeps my kitchen nice and warm as well as having a wonderful aroma fill the house!
